Patent GB-963789-A (GB)
Abstract: 963,789. Calculating machines. PITNEY-BOWES Inc. Dec. 24, 1962, No. 48552/62. Heading G4B. In a ten-key adding-listing machine a fraction key is provided, depression of which does not cause the pin-carriage to tabulate. Actuation of a digit key 14 (Fig. 4) depresses a pin 41 which brings a lug 46 (Fig. 2) on the pin into the path of a stop 48 on an indicator slide 11. The key, shanks overlie a trip bar for an escapement lever 63 which is rocked downwardly and performs the functions of releasing an indicator slide and of stepping the pin-carriage. A finger 72 on the end of lever 63 depresses a sprung pin 52 thus removing a lug 51 from a notch 53 in an indicator slide 11 releasing it to a spring until stop 53 contacts the depressed pin or in the case of the "9" key the bar 39a. A rack 37 on the slide rotates a drum 28 over which passes on endless tape bearing indicator numerals visible through a window 73. The indicator mechanism is carried on the pin carriage. The carriage also carries a comb 81 having teeth 81a to 81c (Fig. 7a) of which the leading tooth bears against a lever 77. The lever 63 has a channel section 75. Depression of a key causes the leading limb of the channel to disengage lever 77 from tooth 81a but the carriage is prevented from moving. Only on release of the key and well on in its release movement, due to the length of limb 93, is the carriage released to a conventional spring- urged lever so that lever 77 can act as stop to tooth 81b. The fraction key-shank does not overlie the trip-bar of the escapement lever so that stepping the pin-carriage does not occur when this key is actuated. The pin 52 on the lowest order is cut away at its upper edge and the fraction key-shank has an extension which directly contacts the part remaining. If a non-fraction key is depressed, finger 72 will not depress the pin 52 and the indicator slide will not be released. Fractions are written to the left of the whole numbers on the indicator tapes and the lowest order displays window is offset so that only fractions are indicated.

Title: Apparatus for sensing strain and/or temperature in an object
Inventor: ZHANG LIN
IPC: G01D5/353
Filed: 1997-03-22
Abstract: Apparatus for sensing temperature and / or strain in an object includes a broad band light source 1 and connector means in the form of an optical circulator 2 or an optical coupler to which two optical fibre Bragg gratings are connected. Grating 4 receives the broadband light from the connector means and functions as a sensor of temperature and / or strain in an object. Light is reflected back from the grating 4 to the connector means and then passed to the grating 5 which acts as a reference grating through which a light output signal is transmitted to a photodetector 8. Deformations of the sensor grating cause a fraction of the light reflected from the sensor to fall outside the reflection band of the reference grating and to be detected. Means are provided for chirping the two gratings at the same bandwidth. The intensity of the signal as measured by the photodetector is monotonically related to the temperature and / or strain sensed by the grating.

Patent GB-2334391-A (GB)
Title: CMOS standby current reduction
Inventor: AHN JIN HONG
IPC: H03K19/00
Filed: 1999-02-12
Abstract: The standby current consumption in low voltage CMOS circuits can become excessive when the transistor threshold voltages are lowered to improve speed. To counteract this problem, cutoff transistors 33 are inserted between the PMOS and NMOS devices. During standby, the cutoff transistors 33 are turned off by signal ACT so that leakage current from the PMOS devices cannot flow to the NMOS devices. The cutoff transistors 33 may have relatively raised threshold voltages, or they may have low threshold voltages (figure 4). The cutoff transistors may be either PMOS or NMOS. The substrate potentials of the logic transistors may be raised during standby to reduce subthreshold conduction. The invention permits a rapid transition from standby to active mode.

Title: Bin cleaning apparatus
Inventor: THOMPSON GARY MICHAEL
IPC: B65F7/00
Filed: 1999-12-15
Abstract: Apparatus for cleaning bins comprising a support for locating a bin (B, Fig. 5) in a tilted orientation so that liquid can drain from the bin through its top opening, at least one cleaning lance 44 mounted in a cantilever fashion for longitudinal movement into and out of the bin (B, Fig. 5) located on the support, the lance 44 being provided at or adjacent its free end with a nozzle assembly 74 which discharge cleaning fluid from outlets 102, 104 and being mounted in such a way that the nozzle assembly 74 is movable in planes substantially orthogonal to the direction of travel of the cleaning lance 44. By appropriate operation of the piston and cylinder (90, Fig. 7) assemblies which effect the angular oscillation of the sub-frame 46 and the U-shaped frame 48, each lance is movable in two mutually orthogonal degrees of freedom relative to the carriage (28, Fig. 1) allowing control in such a way as the nozzle assembly 74 execute a well defined trajectory corresponding to the internal cross-section of the bins. The apparatus may also be provided with means so that a drying fluid impinges on the side of the bins after washing. A preferred feature of the invention is the use of a "rastering" mode type of operation of the lance adjacent the bottom of the bin. This is achieved by appropriate programming of the circuitry controlling the lance oscillating movements. Starting from for example one corner of the bin bottom on the forward end of the lance may be caused to sweep to and fro between the extremities of its oscillation until it contacts the opposite edge of the bin.

IPC: E21B7/24
Abstract: 999,967. Boring earth &c. K. G. BECHEM, D. SODING, and J. BINNEWIES, [trading as SODING & J. C. HALBACH]. Nov. 2, 1961 [Nov. 2, 1960; Feb. 2, 1961; Feb. 23, 1961], No. 39248/61. Heading E1F. A device for boring holes comprises a boring tool and an eccentrically mounted vibrator arranged to generate vibratory forces axially and tangentially of the borehole. The vibrator may be a rotary eccentrically mounted weight, or give linear vibrations which are inclined to the vertical. Where the device has cutter bits and vibrators, the latter may suffice to rotate the device although rotation may be assisted by a drill pipe. Devices having roller bits and rotary vibrators are normally rotated by drill pipe but the rollers may be fitted with pawls so that the device is at least in part rotated by the vibrators. The bit 10 (Fig. 1) is carried by a member 8 having a guide 9. The member 8 is vertically reciprocable relative to a member 1 but rotates with the member 1 which turns with a guide 3. A motor 5 mounted on the member 1 rotates the vibrator 6 mounted on the member 8. In the bore enlarging device shown in Fig. 3 rollers 43, 44 on arms 37, 38 are pressed against the step in the bore by springs 41, 42, the vibrators 39, 40 being mounted in the arms. In the device shown in Fig. 4, sleeves 53, 54, 55, 65 rotatable about a support 51 carry tools 79, 80, 81, 82 and vibrators 62, 63, 64, 66, springs 71, 72, 73, 74 being interposed between the sleeves and the support. A tool 78 reciprocated by a vibrator 77, is attached to the support 51 by a sleeve 75 and spring 76. In a modification, (Fig. 5, not shown) rollers are carried by the sleeves and enclose the vibrators. In Fig. 6, the tools 120-124 are rigidly mounted on a support 115 pressed towards the bottom of the hole by weights 126 and a spring 125. The device shown in Fig. 7a has cutters 137 and vibrators 136 mounted on a ring 131 by means of springs 135. In a further modification the tools and vibrators are mounted for vertical movement at the ends of radial arms.
